Re: Audrey Dahlgren out?

I believe it’s located in the Farmington Hills area.

Re: CBS Weather Unit

Let’s see how well your predictions turn out. Look at what CBS is doing nationally. If you really think this is about launching a fourth national weather network to compete with the Weather Channel — with the same dismal results as Fox Weather and WeatherNation, then I have an ugly DETROIT sign to s...

Re: Sinclair Generative Artificial Intelligence

Agreed, but it’s a slippery slope that will lead to bad places for Sinclair stations

Solar Eclipse Watch Party FAIL

WLNS promoted eclipse watch parties in Jackson and Lansing. However they angered many people by promising and not purchasing enough glasses. Viewers were upset when they went to the parks to be told there were no more free glasses. Yet, the station posted pictures of them handing out glasses to its ...

Re: FOX 47 revolving door

Scripps’ management “team” emailed its spin following its town hall meetings with Adam, trying to calm fears. Instead it’s doing the exact opposite. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/4/9/questions-answered-by-scripps As it states in the email, Scripps is looking to potentially sell its stations...

CBS Weather Unit

CBS announced it will launch a new “weather unit”: https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/cbs-news-weather-coverage-wendy-fisher-1235962955/amp/ This comes at a time when CBS has announced significant layoffs across all its divisions. It feels like this announcement is a cover for potential hubbing of wea...

Re: Sinclair Generative Artificial Intelligence

Reread the statement from Sinclair. You are correct that it will start off with translation. Sinclair had every opportunity to say they are going to limit it to translation. However they didn’t. Why? Because they absolutely have no intention of stopping there. They have a work group specifically loo...

Sinclair Generative Artificial Intelligence

Bucking concerns expressed by most major broadcasters, Sinclair essentially says F-it, we can save a buck by using generative AI to produce news programming. https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/sinclair-begins-generative-ai-usage Sinclair says all the right things… that it wants to ensure accuracy, th...

Sinclair So White

Can’t a person of color or a woman catch a break at Sinclair?

https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2024/ ... e-anything

Sinclair remains stuck in the 1960s model of corporate governance— non-white men need not apply.

Re: Anchor Dance Videos

And sometimes it’s just best to not post your private dance videos to the web-ernets.

It’s one of the things I most admire about you, organman — that you keep your private dance videos, um, private.

Re: WBKB Partners with UpNorthLive

“Content Center” is what Sinclair also called WEYI’s newsroom… y’all know how well that gimmick worked out for them up until they laid off most of the staff.

Revoicing national sports highlights. Sounds like a good use of her “talents”.

Anchor Dance Videos

I’m sure WNEM’s anchors all went to college or university — and paid pretty good money — to learn about journalism and meteorology. It was a waste of good money apparently. They should’ve just spent their money on dance classes. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5a3x7dAF7R/?igsh=NXgyY3lyODB1eDl5 What ...

You can’t be serious about Sinclair having a monopoly… just look at what they’ve done in Flint, Toledo, to Bally Sports.
